Super glad you added weld symbols into this video! I'm a current student at a trade school and it's super helpful to get a weld symbol to explain what we look at as "simple" welds. I'd give you an A+++++++ but, Bob wasn't around, so you get a A++++++-
Thank you so much for posting this. My class is so "streamlined" that there's little to no one on one instruction available and no demonstration. Videos like these are so essential to passing.
That's what I'm experiencing in the 8-week accelerated course I'm taking. Some of us think that one week should be dedicated to each process instead of just a single 3-hour shop period.
Where is Bob? please dont say he'll be back in two weeks, people have been saying that forever since he last said he had to take some time off. I respect someones privacy and all but I think the welding community needs some info,, its like if Wayne Gretzky just disappears, hockey fans are going to want to know what happened. I miss his videos, probably the best instructor I've ever seen. I sure hope all is well..
Hey man, would that 4 bead cap joint have passed as is? Can you at some point show exactly what the paperwork looks like when you go to take a test like this, please?
It is Nice to learn about the rod angle placement in in 2Gf test plate, I will like to see camorra shots of the rod towards the front and back close to the stringer. it will help new welding students like me. Thanks very much your video's help very much. Marc from Winnipeg.
125 Amps at pass 1. That's your machine setting, right? On my machine, DCEP, 125A would stick my 7018 1/8" rod. If I set my machine to 150A, no sticking, smooth welds all the time. Out of curiosity, i took a clamp type current meter and it reads 100A when I intentionally stick my rod. And it shows 9A when I'm welding smoothly. The whole time, my machine is set at 150A. What am I doing wrong? Or is there something wrong with my machine? All current readings are taken with the clamp on the positive cable about 1 meter away from the stinger. Great vids, by the way!
I think when i did my 2g plate test I did 2 separate root passes, 1 for the bevel, and 1 for the straight edge. Only the straight edge required a stop start if i remember correctly.
@@ironmike7601 3 out of 4 positions require 2 stop and starts. Both root bends include the re-starts. Typically, all 4 positions are a single bevel with a 30° included angle. Positions 1, 3, and 4 are a 1/2" root opening with backer and 2 is a 5/16" root opening with backer. All tests qualify the welder for groove and fillet welds.
A lot of structural tests have backer plates, some tests require backer, some open root and some with ceramic backer. It's all what ever the wps is for that test for that contract/job calls for.
@@kristianskov4841 yes. I've only done 2 back gauge tests. Then again I've only been welding for 6 years. The mainm test I normally take are 3g 4g 1inch d.1.1 and 8inch schedule 80 open root pipe with 6010/8010 root and hot pass with either 7018/8018 or fcaw fill and cap. Every shop is different and every job is different though.
Can you do one of these videos with big 100% CO2 3/32 production wire Like in an iron working plant? I want to see how it’s done with a fast runny wire.
starts and stops are not discontinuities, they are just a fact of life when you stick weld. As long as you clean your starts and stops, and optimally, feather them down, then they're perfectly acceptable welds assuming you dont have any inclusions or other discontinuities in em
Nice video, have any tips for an open root weld with 1/8” 6010? I’m having trouble maintaining control of the arc on my 6010. It’s like the arc is favoring the bottom bevel. Thanks in advance!
Hi so I’m in welding school and we’re doing 6010 with a 1/8th landing and a 1/8th gap. It’s got no back and I’m having a really hard time. I stuck when I go in too much but then I’m not making it penetrate enough
I have a question - how do u manage to not set your beard on fire?! I too have a red beard (although not as big) and often have issues with sparks!! I often weld in very tight spaces mostly Mig and stick. Also is there any good masks to buy for confined spaces. Thinking of using an auto darkening lense to make a low profile setup?!
First off, you have to fill that grove up first before you start thinking about capping it. You cant fill and cap on a 2g at the same time cuzz your going to run into what just happened.
I'm not saying I'm a great welder but hot damn son. Those caps are lumpier than my sack. A 1/4 gap? I've never seen a gap bigger than 1/8 for any plate test with a backer. But hey man, you are an instructor of some type I am not. So keep on keeping on. Also manipulate? You mean weave. You shouldn't weave on a test unless it says its called for. If the gap wasn't bigger than my x-wifes snatch you wouldn't have to do that
The root word of horizon is horizontal. Similar words for horizontal are FLAT, LEVEL, EVEN, PLAIN?? Salt FLAT? Sea LEVEL? Great PLAINS? By definition a LEVEL line can't have curvature.. Standing water is ALWAYS LEVEL. 70% of Earths surface is LEVEL water.. This means the earth is FLAT... Lake Michigan is 577 feet above sea LEVEL,, Lake Huron is 577 feet above sea LEVEL,, They are both equal? LEVEL? FLAT? No change.. No curve.. No GLOBE!!
This isnt eric dubeys channel. Take your flat earth bullshit somewhere else. Everyone whos ever been in an airplane knows the earths not flat. Maybe if you got out of your house more you wouldnt be so ignorant.

Can you do a video showing cutting off the backing strip and grinding and bend testing the weld?
Good info and you do a detailed explanation which really helps. No one is perfect so ignore the negative comments. The world is full of know-it-alls.
You guys are great. Lots of useful information to help us to become better craftsmen. Thanks for your time and efforts.
Your suppose to do the Bevel 2nd on your root pass, the 90 is harder to get CJP,
Dude. Thank you for the video! 🙏🏼 exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Great video. I wish I could have seen body positioning while running the beads
Thank you for the great video love the weld symbols and the clear instruction of Red Beard send regards to Bob we miss him.
Thanks for all the info. I'm taking classes for my Tech Cert and any extra while out of class is just knowledge in the bank.
This video is very helpful…thank you for posting it. I’m trying to learn how to weld 🙏

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the purpose of the backing strip? When would this technique be used real world?

this guy is way more lienent then my instructor. working on my 4 and 3 g, haven't even tried 2 yet, BUT that little start and stop woulda got me out.
starts and stops are not discontinuities, they are just a fact of life when you stick weld. As long as you clean your starts and stops, and optimally, feather them down, then they're perfectly acceptable welds assuming you dont have any inclusions or other discontinuities in em
What is the benefit of grounding close to your work piece vs farther away?
Do they usually have the rods in an oven where you test with 7018?
Nice video, have any tips for an open root weld with 1/8” 6010? I’m having trouble maintaining control of the arc on my 6010. It’s like the arc is favoring the bottom bevel. Thanks in advance!
Could yall please do a horizontal grooved Tee joint next please!
That weld would be done the same as overhead. no difference.
Great presentation!!!
Could you show us the Two-Run Technique?
Haven't checked in for a while, what's happened to Bob Moffat ? Hope he is well.
Hi so I’m in welding school and we’re doing 6010 with a 1/8th landing and a 1/8th gap. It’s got no back and I’m having a really hard time. I stuck when I go in too much but then I’m not making it penetrate enough
Because that's a single bevel joint with a root and backing plate, should that test not qualify you for flat and horizontal fillet as well?
I would think so. I just did a seismic D1.8 with that criteria and covers both positions.
This is a good video to show new welders some good info, but this guy still has years of learning before he teaches.
are there instances where rod manipulation is included in the wps?
Where's Bob ?
This is exactly what I needed thank you!
It would be nice if could explain welding position designations for us newbies . What is meant by 2G, 3G etc. Thank you. Love your videos
Take a little initiative and look the information up. Its super simple
I have a question - how do u manage to not set your beard on fire?! I too have a red beard (although not as big) and often have issues with sparks!! I often weld in very tight spaces mostly Mig and stick. Also is there any good masks to buy for confined spaces. Thinking of using an auto darkening lense to make a low profile setup?!
They make beard guard attachments for welding helmets. You could find thick leather too and Jerry rig it onto your helmet
Why is only one plate beveled ? Isn't both plates suppose to have a 22.5 degree bevel? This seems easier to do.
Is there any way tou could do a video on a 2G 1" with backer running .052 metalcore
1st comment I like all the info keep it up!!
What thickness was the main plate?
Pick that root bend footage off the cutting room floor and slake our thirst for destruction
1/4" opening is big enough for 2 passes for the root. Way better pen and almost no chance to miss either bevel. Your root looked wishy washy.
Looks to be a 3/32, it could be done with a 1/8th rod and filled in better I think right?
..GREAT WORK
What temperature should I start with?
Temperature =/= amps. Temperature is time aka speed of your bead
125 amps.
in Canada that 1 root bead pass is a big fat fail
Where’s BOB! WE WHAT BOB!!!!
bob passed away may he rest in peace
